Setting the Time on Your Oven

Modern ovens may feature different types of control panels - such as touchscreens, rotary knobs, or digital buttons. Because each configuration can have a unique process for setting/changing the time, we recommend referring to the specific steps outlined in your oven’s user manual.

Set the time by following the instructions in the user manual (chapter Clock Functions / Before First Use).

How to find the correct user manual for your oven

If you are unsure which instructions apply to your oven, download the user manual for your specific model.

1. Open the oven door.
2. Locate the data plate on the oven frame.
3. Find the PNC (Product Number Code) on the data plate.
4. Go to the User Manual download page.
5. Enter the PNC (without spaces) in the search field.
6. Download the manual for your oven.

Using the PNC ensures that you receive instructions that match your exact oven model.

The ways of setting the time vary depending on the type of control panel.

FAQ – Setting the Oven Clock

Why is my oven clock flashing?

The clock usually flashes because the time needs to be set after installation or a power interruption.

Why does my oven display 12:00 or 00:00?

Many ovens display 12:00 or 00:00 after installation, a power interruption, or when power has been restored. This usually means the clock has not been set. Set the correct time using the instructions for your oven model. This is normal behaviour and does not indicate a fault.

Why is my oven showing the wrong time?

The time may have been lost during a power interruption or may need adjusting after a daylight saving time change.

Do ovens automatically change to summer time and winter time?

Many ovens do not automatically adjust for daylight saving time and must be updated manually.

Can I use my oven without setting the clock?

Some models require the clock to be set before certain timer and cooking functions become available.

How do I find the correct instructions for my oven?

Download the user manual using the model number or PNC from the oven data plate.
